BONDS AND STOCKS.
The Call OF Securities Rt the MeT
chants Exchange Call Hoard.

The Merchants Exchange was
crowded yesterday morning, and the
Call Board session was the attraction,
it being the opening Of the call of
stocks, bonds and other securities, un-
der the new rules. At II o'clock Sec
rotary Keeling mounted the stand and
announced that all bids and offerings
would be understood as for fifty shares
OF stock or $4,000 in bonds unless 9TH
erwiee specified. Sales or purchases
would be cash" or Irregular" "cash"
being delivery to the purchaser be-
fore 2:30 o'clock p m. OF the day OF
sale; Irregular" being delivery to the
purchaser before o'clock pm. Of the
day after the sale. Secretary Keeling
called the entire list as adopted, and
many bids and offerings were made.
The only sales registered were as fol-
lows: $4,000 new Taxing District
bonds, 4s.6s, at 994 $4,000 Merchants
Cotton Press and Storage Company
stock, at 1877. Another bid of 1871
was made for $4,000 additional
Of the stock, but 1t was not
taken up. Later in the day, on
the curb, or, street lot OF the Com
press stock was sold at 1871, and
another lot at 1873. The bidding on
nearly the entire list was quite spir-
tied, and considerable interest was
manifested. The new call movement
will become popular, and closer bios
and offerings will be made daily,
thereby bringing about greater num-
Der of sales. By establishing regular
call for local and other securities an
established market value can be &c.
cured and maintained for bonds and
stocks. This morning the call for Sc
curities will be resumed at IL O'Clock,
and it will be followed by the usual
grain call.

Western people lying dormant in a
town, surrounded by the finest land for
farming proclivites imaginable, often
wonder why other towns prosper and
build up so suddenly and substantially.
1t makes little difference where town
is laid out, just so energetic men take an
interest i'll making it prominent point.
For instanse, we will mention Sioux Falls
Huron. Aberdeen, Bismarck, Fargo,
jamestown and other cities of like i'm
portance, All of these places are going
ahead with rapid strides. Why is it?
Simply because men of brain and money
were encouraged to go there. 1t is as
much of trick to boom town as it is to
run a circus. Sioux Falls has two or
three men who are building up that city.
Aberdeen the same. These boomers are
continually on the lookout for something
that will benefit the town they are inter-
ested in. Every little improvement helps
and goes to make large city. A chron-
ic growler living in western metrop
oils, who only waits for property to advance
about him instead of humping his back in
working for the interest of his locality,
had better have his fare paid out of town.
We have no ready use for such. If a
town can't make its mark during ff-
teen years of existence, it is a gone
goose.

Cath" and His Gout.

remember to have read in one Of the
poets that all ages have their toys, and
that prayer books were the toys Of very
old age, but for nearly week my toys
have been my feet, as have been laid
up in bed with an attack of the gout, and
a very pretty toy it is. It first struck the
left foot, and swelled it up to a resemb-
lance to what would be the foot of the
statue of freedom, had that foot not been
covered by the artist to keep the gout out
Of it. Having some familiarity with
this complaint, judged by the size Of
the foot that it might 60 down in one
month and be recognizable to the oldest
inhabitant. It went down, however, or
rather lost the disease, in about five days,
and then the pesky thing crossed right
over to the other foot. Now, l want to
know by what means it got over there.
The disease is not catching or contagious,
as we know, so it could not have passed
through the pores of the skin. This little
conundrum has interested me for hours
Ito see that big, blasted foot on the left,
like fellow who has been through the
hands of whipping master, and out Of
its pains, now waiting for its little brother
on the right, which has red knuckle,
but otherwise shows no inflammation.

woman's Work in Early rtnes.

Prior to the American revolution every
colonial farm house and every black.
smiths shop was a mandatory. Fol
everything was literally manufactured
that is, made by hand. The blacksmith
hammered out axes, Roes, spades, plow.
shears, scythes and nails. A tailoress
went from house to house to make ul
the winter clothing, and was followed by
the shoemaker. The farmer prepared
the leather from skins which had laid in
the vat for year, and his wife made
ready the cloth. Spinning wheels buzzed
from morning till night. Skeins of woolen
and linen yarn hung on the walls of
every house. Seated on the loom seat,
the best woman of the family piled shut
ties and treadles, weaving blankets,
sheets. table cloths, towels, bed curtains,
window curtains, hannels and cloth for
garments. Every woman in the house.
hold manufactured something. The aged
grandmother spun fax with the little
wheel; the younsst daughter carded
wool, and the eldest, il The men were
busy, hatcheled flax. It was hand work
that did it, and every hand did what it
could best do. The women, whose
''work was never done, not only carded,
spun and wove, but they MIXED the cows,
made butter, bread and cheese, soap and
candles, cooked the food, did the wash
ing, and in harvest rabed hay, pulled
flax and dug potatoes. The neighbor
who happened in for an afternoons gos-
sip brought her work. The mother
patched or knitted as she rested by the
fireside, or quartered apples for the
children to ssstring" and hang in the
morning in festoons on the sunny out
side walls. All were busy, always busy.

The FOOIkiller Sings.

Atchison Globe: The Foolkiller sat by hickory
tree, in the luminous light of the moon; his eyes
were lurd with baleful glee, and he chanted SIM
pie tune. And the Foolkillers tresses black
as night, and the Foolkier's voice strong,
and the Foolkiller Jung with wierd delight, this
simple yet rapturous song: 80, whittier and
where is the youth who goes, in the waning day,
to the river side where the book beer flows, and
squanders away his pay? sigh for q crack at his
swollen head, and punch at his blood-shot eye
whittier and where is the youth, said, that I'll
fl nd him and let him die9 whittier away is the
man who tries to get off public speech? Who'll
range from murmurs and broken sghs to a desper-
ate wolfsh sceech? Who grOpes around for Q
missing word, and stammers and hens and haws2 ?
o soon will the crack Of my club be heard, as 1t
flattens upon his jaws. show me the path to
some lonely dell, where I'll find an idiot gay, who
tawangs note on chestnut bell whenever word
you say; for chestnut bell is a FOOLS device,
which but fool will use, and I'll knock such
lunatics in trice clear out of their high-hee1ed
shoes. o whittier away is the man who smiles and

smart, but my snares and wiles will him in
my lair and there in the dark and dismal damp

of my lonely camp with his indestru ctible gall"
Then the fool XII er lesped to his feet quite bithe,
in the light Of the waning moon, and he drew q
finger along his scythe, as he chanted that simple
tune, and he started off on Spanish trot accord
ing to lifelong rules, and sung as he went, "I'll
make it hot, in this dismal region of fools!'

stewart,. working women.s Home

When A. T. Stewart tried ,in his blum
dering magniicence to provide home
for working women the world, masculine
and feminine alike, exclaimed at the mar
rowness of the creed that was selected to
rule that home. No pictures, no birds,
no beaux and no privacy, in fact no will
or liberty at all, was to be the order
thereof. No woman that was not re-
spectacle was to be admitted, and as they
thought no woman was respectable who
did not prefer bare cubby hole in q
magnificent building to home Of her
own in a cheaper erection, it followed
that none but sticks and stones of women
were expected or desired therein. As
there are few women in this world Of
ours, God be thanked, SO oppressed and
sat upon that they have become. absolute
sticks and stones, and most of these are
in our converts, it followed that the
scheme fell through. New York Graphic.

The Antiquity of Gingerbread.

1t will surprise housekeepers to learn
that our homely everyday luxury ginger
bread, has been used since the Fourteenth
century. It was made then and sold in
Paris, so Monteil affirms in his "Histoire
des Francois" It was then prepared
with rye meal, made into dough, and
ginger and other spices, with sugar or
honey, were kneaded into it. 1t was in
troduced into England by the court of
Henry ~ for their festivals and soon
brought into general use. Since then it
has retained its popularity and contribu-
ted much to the pleasures and enjoy
ments of young and old. A great change,
of course, was after awhile made in its
composition, and particularly after it was
introduced into this country. Honey,
being more expensive than molasses, was
less used, and the darker color hidden un-
der some other ingredient or gilded.
''To take the gilt of the gingerbread"
was common proverb, and in the old
country booths, glittering with their rude
devices in gingerbread, are still seen in
many country towns to this day.-Chi.

A syndict Of New Workers headed by ex-

the possibility of vast fortunes to be made
